Working with Irene on my first home purchase was one of the best decisions I made during the entire process. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly patient. As a first-time buyer, I came in feeling cautious and overwhelmed, especially when it came to the financial side of things. But Irene made everything feel manageable. She explained things clearly, answered every question without making me feel rushed, and always made sure I felt informed without being overloaded.
What stood out the most was how much trust I felt in her. I'm someone who tends to be risk-averse, especially when it comes to big financial commitments, and Irene completely understood that. She had this calm confidence that made it easy for me to let go of the stress and stop trying to understand every tiny detail on my own. I genuinely felt like I could turn my mind off to the complicated parts and just trust that she had it covered. She consistently looked out for my best interest and never once made me feel like I was just another client.
That trust was especially important when I went into escrow on a property that ended up being a poor fit. Irene caught some major red flags in the HOA documents that I hadn’t noticed; things like missing financial disclosures and vague assessment language. She helped me understand the risks, gave me the space to ask questions and process everything, and ultimately helped me walk away from a situation that could have turned into a financial headache. I was so grateful she caught it in time. It really showed how much she cared about protecting me, not just getting the deal done.
When I finally found the right home, she made sure everything stayed on track. Her communication was fast, clear, and always reassuring. She coordinated smoothly with everyone involved, and her attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. Even during the more stressful moments, she was steady and kind, and I always felt like I had someone truly in my corner.
Irene made one of the biggest decisions of my life feel possible and even enjoyable. I’m incredibly thankful to her for all the work she did; both the visible and behind-the-scenes work that I didn’t even have to think about. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through this, and I would recommend her to anyone, especially fellow first-time buyers who need someone they can genuinely rely on.
